I got tagged!!

I feel so special! My measly little blog received a nod in my friends Kym's blog. Well, it wasn't so much a "nod" as it was a "tag" but it still means someone was thinking of me! A first for me. Maybe 2009 will be full of goofy firsts. Thanks Kym!

"For all the children in the world to join hands and sing..."

Kidding.

I wish that my car would not completely fall apart before we can afford to buy another one.
I wish that it was possible to drop 2 dress sizes in 1 day. And keep it off. (Does that count as 2
wishes?)
I wish that my children were always polite, well-behaved, and always use inside voices without
being reminded.
I wish that I would never have to wipe someone else's rear end as long as I live.
I wish that it were possible to make money by staying home all day surfing the internet and
reading mystery novels.
I wish that my house would clean itself.
I wish that all that high-fat, high-calorie goodness was actually healthy
I wish for more wishes. HA!
